Topic: asus nx 1101 (Read 3310 times)

Hello.I have been following MCE for about 2 years. I tried to install dlink dge 530T but had no luck. I finally bought a asus nx 1101 thinking it might work in 10.04, thinking it worked in previous versions. I am experiencing the same issue with it as with the dlink card. When i do a lspci -v the internal nic says it's a realtek 8101E irq 25 kernel driver r8169. The asus card says realtek 8169 irq 16 kernel driver r8169. when i ifconfig i see eth0, eth0:1 and lo. I'm not very linux literate. Can someone assist me - this has been the limiting factor for me getting deaper into mce.thanks in advanceMike

The r8169 driver has been a problem for a long time. Realtek is kinda dutty with linux. I am having issues with my realtek soundcard at the moment. The drivers always need some stupid tweak. For me the tweak breaks linuxmce 1204. anyway for your situation try the r8168 driver. and blacklist the 8169 driver. this will most likely break something but its worth a shot. I would first try and blacklist the r8169 driver and reboot. Then try what is below.

tschak909 and posde, thanks for your suggestions. I will keep these solutions as backup plans. I would like to volunteer to co-ordinate the hardware compatiblity section of the site. If possible, can u tell me how best to go about it.

Crumble, I haven't had time to try your solution. I will tomorrow. I started out with a dlink dge-530T and then the asus card, and both have the same issue. Thanks for the suggestion.
